  My 2004 GX - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By GX4DAVE - October 10 - 10:23 pm

  The reviews are right. You wont miss the LX 470. The GX 470 is Toyotas best SUV in my mind. All the features and options I wanted at a reasonable price. I even found it fun and easy to install the rear spoiler myself. I would definitely buy one again.

  So far so good..... - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By What a ride!!!!!!! - September 21 - 5:26 am

  I had the unfortunate experience of leasing VW touareg before looking at the other cars... It was a big mistake...I decided to take the loss and go with Lexus...it is like night and day between the VW and Lexus... I could not believe how much of a difference there was between the two.. Get a Lexus ... GX 470, RX330 or what ever.. Lexus is great...

  Best Sport Ute Ever - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Tim Swinney - July 15 - 9:33 pm

  After surviving a near-fatal 50-mph rearend accident as the driver in a sports car, I wanted something more substantial behind my body. The GX- 470 gives me all the security I need and more. I cannot imagine feeling safer in a vehicle yet the ride and comfort baby my damaged back and neck. The short list is what to change--more cup holders, uhh, dash input for digital player, maybe 4 inches longer for more room for cargo? Its damn near perfect!

  First foreign vehicle and am Wowwed! - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Marty - June 16 - 8:43 pm

  Own a very late 2004, but basically the same. Except for some of the plasticware being a little low grade for the Lexus name, the vehicle is outstanding! Never owned a foreign vehicle before, but I am SOLD on Lexus! Drove on icy roads with NO trouble! Nav sys was a bit outdated, but works great! Got DVD in headrests w/game plug ins and that is worth the money on long trips! Wife would like more storage space. 3rd seat can really only hold kids as adults would have knees up to chest. Seats and controls are very comfortable and engine has quite the get up and go! City driving gets 18+ mpg and highway (fully loaded w/cargo top) got about 20. Not great, but OK. Parkplace Lexus is super, too!

  3 time Lexus owner - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By steve - May 24 - 3:00 am

  After leasing 2 RX300s over the last six years, this is a BIG step up. The deal was outstanding but the vehicle really sold itself. Comfort, power and looks all in one package. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone in the market for a mid to large size SUV. You wont go wrong.

  Great SUV - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Thomas E. Dahlberg - May 6 - 12:03 pm

  This vehicle is great. The handling, power and comfort are amazing. The engineers did their homework and anticpated needs I was unaware I had. I strongly recommend the Navagational/DVD options. My model has the Dynamic Kinetic System and drives backroads like it is on rails.

  Best large SUV bar none - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By eeeee - April 30 - 11:06 am

  Over the last 8 years I have owned the following SUVs ... Mitsubishi Montero, Mercedes ML 430, BMW X-5 4.4i, Infiniti FX. All of these have been top of the line and fully loaded with every option in the book. This time, I shortlisted and test drove the Range Rover, The LX470, the Cayenne, the Touareg the MDX, and finally the GX 470. Other then the 3rd seat (which despite the bulk, is still very convenient for my 6 and 10 yr old), there is simply no down side to this SUV. Even the gas mileage is good (18 mpg) considering it weighs in at 6800 pounds. It beats its own older brother (the LX 470) at its game for $15000 less. If you need a large SUV with superb comfort, you need not look any further.

  I Love Still Today - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Diane - March 1 - 1:03 am

  I test drove almost every suv out there. From the moment I drove the GX, I loved it. I now own it for six months. It is wonderful. I recently hit a deer. The car did not skid. It was solid and kept us safe. I love driving it. It feels dreamy to drive. Love the seats, interior, radio etc. This is my first Lexus. I also own a Mercedes C320.... would consider trading it in for a Lexus in the future. The Lexus people have great service.

  Smart and classy buy - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Elena - February 18 - 7:23 pm

  Looked at many other suvs, but loved this one! I have had it for almost a year and an very happy with it. I have just reached 12,000+ miles and the car still looks brand new! It drives very comfortably and is spacious! The trunk is a bit small when the third row is down, but i love the third row option. People tend to complain about the trunk door, but it has not bothered me once! Its a great car and should last a good long time, both the interior and engine! :)

  Great GX 470 - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Fillup Carter - February 7 - 8:53 pm

  The best SUV I have owned. Luxury and performance in one vehicle. You will not be disappointed. Compared with other luxury SUVs, the Lexus GX 470 was the one you cant forget. Its quiet and the ride is smooth.
